YES, i am on Sub. now and doing really good. I go to a place where they do counseling too. i will have been on it  for 2 months as of the 12th of this month. It has helped my life FINALLY become 100% complete in the process i started when i moved up here on the 1st of the year. It was a little bit of a struggle when i 1st started it working thru the "mental" aspect of this addiction and the pain i have daily too (since i only take OTC tylenol and advil now) but it is the BEST decision i ever made. the "BIG TEST" was 2 weeks ago when my Ex served me with those "emergency tempory custody" papers giving him "immediate" custody until a later court date (but as of now, the state i live in refusues to enforce the papers so we're ok for now.) and i got an Attorney now. BUT i made it thru that "week of HE11" w/out the slighest thought of taking a "pill" to help me cope.
i'm on 2 pills a day right now and on the 12th i will start tapering down. i think it was a wise decision for my dr. to put me on a higher dose than i wanted and for a longer period of time. "looking back" now (with a SOBER mind) i believe if i would have done a "short and quick" suboxone plan like i wanted too, i would have more than likely ended up relapsing sooner than later. the sub. gives your mind and body a break from w/d's and cravings so you can "really" work on the mental part. which we ALL KNOW is what triggers an addict use.

i have been dealing with some extremely painful medical issues the last 5 weeks. my dr. thinks it may be rhumatoid arthritis(sp?) or fibromyalgia. and i am making it thru every day WITH OUT PAIN PILLS. dont get me wrong, the pain becomes "unbearable" and least 3 times a day,everyday!!! but i am  focusing on on other things `to help keep my mind off the pain and sometimes i have to just "grin-n-bare it" but i'm doing it and doing it SUCCESSFULLY!!!!!

and my email is still the same, if you need it again i'll email it to  you, k???

luv ya,
tink :)
